Minnesota's Multiple Picks

ESPN reported yesterday that Minnesota was about to trade its 16th pick in the first round to Memphis for the latter's 25th and 28th picks. If that happens, Memphis will have the 12th and the 16th first round picks and Minnesota the 4th, the 23rd, the 25th and the 28th. Minnesota also has two late second round picks. Minnesota is likely to sell at least one of its first round picks. A first round, pick, however, will eat into our cap space.

Please search for tweets by @RyanTrapasso (myself) and @JonKnicksFan from earlier today. It is very likely (but not 100% of course) that this person is just taking this and making it their own. It was a COMPLETE HYPOTHETICAL.

Thanks,
Ryan

My mistake; it was from yesterday:

JonKnicksFan: @RyanTrapasso For instance, it’d have to be like, Curry, 8 and Douglas to the Spurs, Wil to the Clippers, Parker to the Knicks.

Just don’t want y’all getting excited for nothing. Could be true but doubting it.

Is this confirming what I heard or are you saying someone repeated a made up rumor? It's not clear why you are posting. If it's made up...ohwell. At this point everything is speculation so we will just have to wait and see how everything unfolds.

I'm saying this guy contacted me and told me he brought up this EXACT trade off the top of his head a day before you posted about it being from a friend, on Twitter. It's made up. So if your friend saw it as well and took it as a legit rumor, he's misinformed. If you saw it on Twitter and decided to make up a story about knowing someone on the inside, then you're lying. I don't think it's the latter but maybe you could clear things up a bit.

I can assure you I didn't see it on Twitter. I only have a Twitter account for my blog and haven't been on there in 2 months. I do indeed have a close friend who is a ticket holder who knows many "insiders". It's possible some where along the line someone read it on Twitter and passed the rumor to the people my friend heard it from. Not sure and at this point don't really care...we are on the cusp of real news and not internet fodder.
